This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University of Oklahoma, January 2009
First Received: July 9, 2008   Last Updated: January 5, 2009   History of Changes

  Purpose

The study hypothesize that adding 60% nitrous oxide to a steady state sevoflurance or propofol anesthetic will lead to a decrease in both BIS and Entropy indices during a constant level of surgical stimulus

Official Title: Addition of Nitrous Oxide to a Sevoflurane or Propofol Based Anesthetic and Its Effects on Depth of Anesthesia Indices (N20)

Further study details as provided by University of Oklahoma:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • to demostrate the effectiveness of two commonly used depth of anesthesia monitors (BIS & Entropy) on measuring the anesthestic effects of a commonly used anesthetic gas (nitrous oxide) [ Time Frame: depth of anesthesia ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 32
Study Start Date: March 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: August 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator
Sevoflurane based general anesthesia
Drug: nitrous oxide
Addition of 60% nitrous oxide for 20 minutes duration, then back to 1:1 oxygen/air mixture.
Device: BIS Monitor
BIS Monitor electrodes placed on forehead
Device: Entropy Monitor
Entropy monitor electrodes placed to forehead
2: Active Comparator
Propofol based general anesthesia
Drug: nitrous oxide
Addition of 60% nitrous oxide for 20 minutes duration, then back to 1:1 oxygen/air mixture.
Device: BIS Monitor
BIS Monitor electrodes placed on forehead
Device: Entropy Monitor
Entropy monitor electrodes placed to forehead

Detailed Description:

Nitrous oxide is a widely used general anesthetic pas. It is often used in addition to a second, more potent agent. BIS and Entropy are depth of anesthesia monitors in clinical use. There are conflicting reports about the usefulness of these monitors. When nitrous oxide is used as a part of the anesthetic regimen. While some studies demonstarte a decrease in BIS and Entropy study aims to investigate the effects of adding nitrous oxide to a sevoflurane to propofol based anesthetic on BIS and Entropy indices.
